5 Voice: Miss Michelle Creamer Greco Coordinator of Music Activities: Sr. Margaret Logrip Villa Maria Academy CHOIR Information Choir enhances our Liturgical Celebrations. As a Catholic School, Liturgical Celebrations are a vital part of our Religious Education Program. Since one of Villa Maria Academy s goals is to educate young women in the IHM tradition of leadership and service, choir offers an opportunity to display leadership and give service. Choir members in Grades 4 to 8 will be providing the musical support for our school Masses. These singers will also perform in the Spring Show when they become a Show Choir and entertain through singing and creative movement. Choir members will be a vital part of Villa s annual Christmas Pageant. As choir these young women will use their voices to praise the Lord and be the leaders for congregational singing. As a Show Choir, they will use their voices and personalities to be theatrical in the annual Spring Show. Sr. Margaret and Miss Connors enjoy the opportunity to work with these young singers. Page 5

6 Learning the correct use of the voice so that it can function with ease, freedom, versatility and endurance without any discomfort to the throat is a major goal for a member of the choir.
